My FOMO was in full effect yesterday as I knew that legions of costumed skiers and snowboarders were unleashing themselves on the closing day of Whistler Mountain for the tenth annual Gaper Day.
That debaucherous day on the slopes always has the psychological effect of letting us all know that it is indeed time to put the shred gear away for the season.
It’s a day characterized by going fast, taking chances, skimming ponds and high fiving all of your buddies (old and new) for making it through another season without dying and/or maiming yourself.
The crew at Doglotion, who basically invented Gaper Day before it got adopted by the drunken masses, put together a BEST OF video from the last ten years of gaping at Whistler Blackcomb.
Sure, I would have much rather drank a few too many beers on the slopes in the sun. But watching this video was the next best thing to being there.
Here’s to another season down!
